Dead end product as it does not have windows 11 support. Not to mention a paltry 4 GB of RAM.
Just consult the chart:
The chart has a small area where things can be Good + Fast + Cheap. The author colored that area black though.
Hm… Well I don’t care about Win 11 and just want to use this as a casual home tablet for browsing, documents, and maybe art and drawing with a stylus. Would it be good for that?
I don’t believe it supports a stylus unless you see something I don’t. I ordered one of these the last time it was on sale and it certainly didn’t come with one. I haven’t used it much - haven’t taken the time to set it up for what I had planned with it - so I can’t strongly recommend it one way or the other.
Do note that these B grade scratch and dents can show a little wear. Mine has a bit of plastic cracked off the hing where it’s apparently been dropped, and a strange extruding pointed bump (reverse of a dimple?) in the plastic on the back of the screen. Seems to work ok and doesn’t appear to be compromised functionally, but I figure B-grade is going to be noticeable.
I would venture to say that an iPad + pencil or Surface + pen would be better options here than this student-grade laptop.
(Note that I am not staff. I just volunteer to help out on the forums.)
As for W11 support, I wonder if there’s another aspect at play here as Lenovo notes that this should be able to upgrade:
The N5000 CPU is on Microsoft’s supported list:
Would Windows 11 even run with any kind of speed on 4GB of RAM? The official specs are 1.0gHz/4GB/64GB, in theory this JUST meets that, but yikes… how slow would it be?
What you’re really looking at here is the fact this is a very small laptop, which is satisfactory for casual use. The size is great for air travel and just tossing in your backpack or briefcase.
Can it update to Win11? It should be able to based on the processor, but it might use proprietary hardware which could foul thing up. If that’s the case, try updating with an external keyboard and mouse attached first. It might allow you to catch some of the problems if they exist. If it goes on and you have undefined hardware, you can at least use the drivers from Win10 to fix the missing bits.
If you get Win11 on it, will it run fast? Should run as fast as Win10. So check Win10 performance before you waste your time. And as it has been mentioned numerous times, Win10 still has at least 5 years of life left. By the time it’s done, you can more than likely find a cheaper Win11 unit to replace it.
Edit: Narfcake advises that Win10 support ends in 2025. Oh well…
Not any more; W10 support ends October 2025.
I’m wondering if these would be good candidates for a nice clean shiny Linux install.
Yes to the uninitiated in exclusivity unions that is the intersection were all three things are NOT possible at the same time.
Yeah, I guess, but having to be initiated takes away from the clarity of the information presented.
Except that in the Venn diagram, this insinuates that it is possible, not impossible. Perhaps “improbable” might have been a better choice of words.
Please take the applause back. 
They never sent me the memo to the initiation.
The computer arrived, decently packaged and shipped fast. There are no real signs of wear although graded B. BUT a Fatal Flaw - there is a supervisor password set! I can look at some settings but not change anything (like swapping the FN and CTRL keys, change boot order, turn off camera and mic, etc.).
from Lenovo help → Reset forgotten supervisor password
If you forget your supervisor password, Lenovo cannot reset your password. You must take your computer to a Lenovo Service Provider to have the system board replaced.
